A community of 500 non-denominational, multi-ethnic, diverse people, which is:

• A sustainable Community - Keeping the planet's resources intact for future
generations.

• A Community that shows how state-of-the-art positive technology
can create better living for all life.

• A Community designed to be energy self-sufficient.

• A Cooperative Community where everyone has more through sharing
resources. Wealth is redefined as use and access rather than as possession.

• A Community where residents take care of one another as if
they were one family.

• A pedestrian Community - with parking on the outskirts and few
roadways.

• A Community with income producing, socially responsible businesses,
enabling most residents to walk to work.

• A place where people regain control,
through consensus decision making, of the key decisions that affect their
lives.

• More than simply an ecological city, rather, a model that addresses
the economic, cooperation, and separation issues that are the basis of
our current environmental and social problems.

What it is not:
• A place where one has to sacrifice quality of life.
• A haven for people living on the fringe.

Co-op Villages are designed to transform society, not to escape it.

The way we live together and relate together in Community is the basic
building block that is needed to transform the planet. The creation of
Community Planet will enable others to see how we can all cooperate and
enjoy a higher, healthier, and happier standard of living.

With media exposure, millions will be able to see and hear about a life-style
that they, too, can enjoy. Future Communities built along these guidelines
will support individuals in their personal growth, social justice issues
and in obtaining their personal goals, providing them with a prosperous
life-style through the sharing of resources while, at the same time,
addressing our global challenges.

Eventually we envision how the replication of our models around the
world will have a transformational effect on the environment, world peace,
and the prosperity of all humankind as we finally learn the benefit of
choosing to live together in order to address social justice issues and
the highest good of all.
